Im new to Programming and Game Graphics but I am extremely determined to create GREAT mobile games. I was about to start college for Game Programming but I think id rather buy 20 books and make it happen no matter what
TapJoys CEO told me when I asked him at a conference the best mobile game engine to use is UNITY, so I have the game engine, now I just need to know the best program to create Sprites and incredible game images, because IMAGE IS EVERYTHING when it comes to games…and most things in life.
I was hopeing someone could just point me in the right direction,
Zenonia 5 is the best mobile RPG i have ever played and in that game the 2D images are AMAZING, I desperatly need to find out what programs are the best and then I can get to work on my game!
Photoshop is as good as you make it. As much as you put into it. Any 3D modelling program that is used today can get you the same results, most engines with the right programming will get you the same results. Get photoshop and get learning.
Your game will not be the best, I know this because you are going for “image” a game needs to be much deeper and more evolved than simply the aesthetic quality, you need to think about mechanics and story as well as many other features.
When you are looking at games on your phone or tablet , you have 2 - 8 pictures to look at to determine if the game looks worth buying, if the game looks like childrens crayon drawings nobodys gunna buy it, if it has great graphics, looks clean, crisp, then youve got a 1000x more chance someones gunna buy it.
Image is the most important element of trying to sell a game on phones, yes I agree story and many other aspects are important, but honestly Im not worried about that bcuz im a strait up BAWLER when it comes to that kinda stuff, ive played 100 mobile rpgs, and I know what it takes to make it Incredible, I just need to learn how to make the game
I fear you don’t really know what it takes to make even a simple game like Angry Birds, not to mention a RPG.
And you couldn’t be more wrong, if you think that neat graphics will make your game sell. It’s just the icing of the cake. But if your gameplay sucks, it won’t help you much.
You’re a beginner. So my suggestion is to start with something smaller.
thank you I will definatly take ur advice into consideration, because I definatly am a beginner. I have a few apps on Google play but im just trying to get my foot in the door to make sum $$$, cuz thats what its all about
If making money is your ultimate goal, you should really stay away from an RPG first. It will suck your money and time. Don’t expect to get that done under 1,5 years, even if it’s not too epic and you outsourced code, or art.
You can also make money with smaller, but polished games. Get some done and see how it works before you start too big right off the bat.
